FBC Loganville Messages

The kingdom of God is both a future hope and a present reality.

“Today heaven gained another angel.” In times of loss we lean on many thoughts and ideas that make things more bearable. But this one in particular is definitely false. Today, Pastor Ronnie cautions against giving people false hope that humans become angels after passing away and explains how angels are completely different beings than humans.

Are you in a dry season, pouring in effort but seeing little fruit? In Matthew 13, Jesus shares the parable of the sower, showing how the condition of our hearts determines whether His Word takes root and grows. Pastor Chase helps us examine what kind of soil we are, why fruitfulness sometimes feels out of reach, and how God can cultivate our lives for lasting growth.

Samson was a man full of promise, set apart by God for greatness. Yet, instead of depending on the One who gave him strength, he trusted in himself. His self-reliance led to failure and kept him from experiencing the fullness of God’s plan for his life. In the same way, we can easily slip into relying on our own abilities while drifting spiritually. Are you leaning on your own strength or resting in God’s? Are you wide awake in your walk with Jesus, or simply sleepwalking through it?

We like being comfortable. We like our routines and habits. It's easy to get caught up in a state of mundane and ignore what God is calling us to do. But Lead Pastor Chase Snyder highlights in Judges 6 the importance of leaving our comfort zone. It's not for our own benefit, but to glorify God and all that He has done for us.

It’s easy to settle into the comfort of our faith, convincing ourselves we’ll answer God’s call “someday.” But if we’re honest, that “someday” often never comes, because comfort feels safer than obedience. As Pastor Chase Snyder reminds us, “Delayed obedience is still disobedience.” In this message, discover why stepping out in faith now matters more than waiting for the “right” moment.

Are you spiritually asleep? Are you sleepwalking instead of walking in God’s purpose for your life? If we wander in life without purpose or direction, it pits us in a dangerous place. God calls us to something greater, a hope and purpose that only He offers. But if we’re sleepwalking, we will miss out on what He has for us. It’s time to wake up and follow Him. 

In this final week, Executive Pastor Carll Converse challenges us to live without regrets when it comes to following Jesus and helping others come to know Him. As His followers, we are called to share the gospel, just as Jesus commanded, even when it pushes us beyond our comfort zones. Are we living as faithful servants of Christ? Are we stewarding our time well? What steps can we take to ensure we have no regrets in how we live out our faith?

If you don’t know God’s Word, you won’t recognize sin. Scripture is breathed out by God and serves as our ultimate standard for truth. It doesn’t just inspire; it corrects, convicts, and trains us in righteousness. Knowing Scripture is essential to living in step with God’s will.

Continuing our Inspired and Instructed series, Pastor Tyler Moore unpacks what Scripture teaches about rebuke, both giving and receiving it. God's Word calls us to hold one another accountable in love, recognizing that our actions have consequences. In this message, we’ll explore how to offer correction with grace and humility, and how to receive it with a heart that desires to grow in alignment with God's will.

In this new series, Inspired and Instructed, Pastor Justis Ward poses four essential questions, each answered through the scriptural lens. As he teaches us how to put on the whole Armor of God, Pastor Justis equips us with spiritual defenses and Truth, enabling us to deflect the enemy’s lies and walk confidently in Christ.

In Romans 12, the apostle Paul offers a powerful reminder of what it means to worship in spirit and truth. True worship is not confined to a song or a service. It's a way of life. Paul urges us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. In everything we do, we are called to surrender our lives fully to Christ.

This week, Pastor Chase explores one of the most debated topics in the church: speaking in tongues. Pulling from 1 Corinthians 14, he walks through what Scripture truly says about this spiritual gift, and other God-given gifts, and discusses how we can use them to glorify God and build up the body of Christ.

"How can you feel the love of God if you've never felt loved?" It's a question that cuts deep; one that many wrestle with in silence. This week, Pastor Ronnie takes us through the story of the Prodigal Son, revealing a powerful truth: God's love doesn't waver when we do. Even in seasons of doubt, distance, or emotional numbness, His love remains constant, deeper than our wounds, greater than our understanding.

In week two of You Asked For It, Pastor Josh Thompson addresses a question of faith: If we are saved by grace alone, why do we need good works? Drawing from Ephesians 2, Pastor Josh unpacks the powerful connection between grace and action, giving biblical insight and practical wisdom to help us understand the role of works in the life of a believer.

In the opening message of this new series, Pastor Chase explores a foundational question: What roles do sermons, Bible studies, and personal study play in our spiritual growth? Through biblical insight and practical application, Pastor Chase unpacks how each element uniquely contributes to a deeper, more vibrant faith.

Is there someone in your life you’re struggling to forgive? Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things we’re called to do, especially when the wounds run deep. But how many times should we forgive someone who has hurt us? As followers of Christ, we are called to forgive as God has forgiven us.

In this fourth week of Victorious, Pastor Chase warns us about the dangers of being complacent in our walk with Christ. We are called to the Great Commission, but complacency robs us of our life purpose; it can diminish our godly gifts and prevent us from ministering to others.

If we’re honest with ourselves, we all tend to doubt. In turn, we begin to question God, because we’re more consumed by seemingly perpetual anxiety than we are in trusting Him and His good plan for our lives. But even in our doubt and hesitancy, God is still faithful during the storms. 

Worry comes naturally to us. We're quick to dwell on the “what-ifs” of life and overlook the joy of what God is doing right now. But in Philippians, Paul reminds us not to be consumed by anxiety. Instead, he encourages us to focus our minds on what is true, noble, and right. Rather than carrying the weight ourselves, we’re invited to give our worries to the One who is always in control.

When tragedy strikes, do you run toward Jesus or away from Him? In moments of pain, it’s tempting to lean on our own strength, thinking we can endure the valley alone. But the truth is, victory isn’t found in ourselves. It’s found in Christ alone. He is the only One who can carry us through the darkest seasons and lead us to hope on the other side.

Because of Jesus, we are not longer defeated. Join us in this Easter sermon as Pastor Chase talks about how the resurrection of Jesus changes everything.

Because of Jesus, we are no longer bound by guilt. He willingly took our place on the cross, bearing our sin so we could walk in true freedom. At any moment, He could have stopped it all. Yet, He chose to endure the suffering. He didn’t save Himself, because His purpose was to save us. Out of love, He laid down His life so that we could rise and live fully for Him.

Have you ever felt isolated, like no one sees you, hears you, or truly understands? In a world more connected than ever through technology, many of us still experience deep loneliness. In those quiet moments of rejection or invisibility, we can hold fast to a powerful truth: we are never truly alone. The gospel reminds us that God is always with us. 

Through Jesus, we are no longer bound by sin. He took the debt we owed upon Himself at the cross, granting us true freedom in Him. Just as God delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt, meeting Jesus brings liberation from the chains of sin. In Him, we are no longer slaves. We are set free to live in His grace and truth.

An encounter with Jesus changes everything. The old self is gone, and a new creation takes its place. In this powerful series, Pastor Chase will guide us through the radical transformation that happens when we fully surrender to Christ; how He reshapes our hearts, renews our minds, and redefines our purpose.

Do we say we believe in God but fail to truly follow Him? Are our lives so packed with distractions that we leave little room for Him? In this final week, Pastor Chase challenges us to move beyond mere belief and step into a life that genuinely fears and honors God. True faith isn’t just about acknowledging Him. It's about allowing Him to transform our hearts, our actions, and our priorities. When we truly follow Jesus, everything changes.

Why is it so easy to feel content in our relationship with God, yet restless and unsatisfied when it comes to our own desires? We hunger for the things of this world, losing sight of what truly matters. Solomon, despite all his wealth and wisdom, was never satisfied. The more he obtained, the more he craved, only to realize that his pursuits were nothing more than chasing the wind. Like Solomon, we must ask ourselves: Are we seeking fulfillment in the temporary, or are we fixing our eyes on the eternal?

What are you chasing? In Ecclesiastes 1, Solomon—the wisest, richest king—reflects on his life’s pursuits and calls them meaningless, like chasing the wind. Wealth, success, pleasure—none of it truly satisfies. In this sermon, we dive into Solomon’s lessons and see how Jesus offers something far better: an abundant, lasting life.

In the final week of this series, Pastor Chase explores the difference between simply coexisting and truly connecting in marriage. While roommates share spaces but often live separate lives, married couples are called to unity, working together, growing together, and being fully present in each other’s lives.

In this second week of the marriage series, Pastor Chase shares six key strategies for better communication with your spouse. Without healthy communication, even small moments of misunderstanding can build into major conflicts. Just as a strong marriage isn’t built in a day, healthy communication requires daily effort and intentionality.

This week, Pastor Chase explores how to build a strong, biblically grounded marriage. Walking through Genesis 2 and 3, he teaches us that a strong marriage isn’t built in a day; it’s built daily. No marriage is beyond hope, and every marriage, no matter how strong, can grow deeper. 

This week, Pastor Chase explores three essential biblical relationships that help us thrive within the context of community. We were never meant to live in isolation. Our lives are deeply interconnected. Jesus teaches that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. But He also calls us to a second, equally transformative commandment: to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Do you feel burnt out in your walk with Jesus? Are you on the verge of spiritual exhaustion? As Christians, we often push ourselves so hard—giving, serving, and running on empty—that we risk burning out entirely. In the process, we can forget to prioritize the most important thing: fueling our own relationship with God. If we neglect our own spiritual health, how can we effectively lead others to Jesus? Only when we are filled with His presence can we pour into the lives of others.

As a Christian, your main priority should be your relationship with Jesus. If you never spend time with Him, you won’t know what He is about. Often, we become too distracted, allowing everyday life to take our focus away from Jesus. Being with Him every single day is the most important thing you can do. We should get into the Word of God so that the Word can get into us. Don’t allow distractions to keep you from growing your relationship with Jesus. 

Time is a precious gift from God, and how we choose to spend it matters. Are you truly living in the moment, or merely living for the moment? In Ephesians 5:15-16, Scripture calls us to live wisely, making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil. This powerful reminder challenges us to reflect on our priorities and decisions. Are you using your time to honor God, or are distractions pulling you away from what truly matters? Join us as we explore how to live purposefully, embracing the days God has given us with wisdom and intention.

This week, Ronnie officially steps into a new role as Executive Associates Pastor and takes the opportunity to recollect the last 36 years as lead pastor, imparting words of wisdom and encouragement as he embarks on a new and exciting chapter in life. Pastor Chase takes on the role as Lead Pastor, committing to guide the church in faithfully following Jesus. 

What does it mean to be smart? While the world tries to impart its own definition of intelligence on our lives, Scripture tells us differently of what true wisdom looks like: following Jesus. This week, Pastor Ronnie lists five points of what a smart, true follower of Jesus should look like, despite what the world tells us. 

Have you ever received a gift you didn’t want? What about when God gives you something unexpected—His favor, but not in the way you imagined? Often, what we desire doesn’t align with what God has planned for us. We ask for blessings, expecting them to look a certain way, but God’s gifts often come with a purpose that’s beyond our understanding. If we don’t learn to view His blessings through His perspective, we might miss the deeper work He’s doing in our lives.

Amid the busyness of the Christmas season, it's easy to get caught up in traditions, decorations, and the pursuit of the perfect holiday experience. While these activities bring joy and connection, they can sometimes distract us from the deeper truth of our faith. True redemption—the kind our souls deeply long for—cannot be found in the season's trappings but comes only through God. This Christmas, let us refocus our hearts on the redemptive gift of Jesus Christ, the reason for our hope and salvation.

The arrival of Jesus on that first Christmas changed history and it changes the eternity of those who believe. Because of our relationship with Jesus, we now get to experience some of heaven on earth. Our lives don’t always feel like heaven on earth though. Christmas is a busy season that can fly by in an instant. In the rush of shopping, family gatherings, and Christmas parties, this sermon series’ goal is to refocus us on the hope we have in Jesus.

The average person complains about 15-30 times per day. Chances are that you know some above average complainers! Complaining is linked to negative health effects, like depression, anxiety, decreased immune system, and increased stress. On top of all of these, complaining negatively affects our relationship with Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us that the will of God is for us to rejoice always, to continually pray, and to give thanks in all circumstances. In this sermon Pastor Chase will encourage the church to develop a daily practice of gratitude to God for all that He does for us so that we will grow in our affection for Jesus.

Where is God calling you to make a difference? Scripture makes it clear that we are called to go out and share the gospel. The question is not whether God is leading you, but where He is leading you. Jesus’ entire mission was to seek and save the lost—a mission He has entrusted to us as His followers. If this was His purpose, it should also be ours: to go boldly, reaching out with love and truth to those who are in need of salvation.

Sometimes God is leading us to something more, and because of our busy schedule and full lives, we are reluctant to take a step in obedience. In this sermon, Pastor Chase will teach from Isaiah’s call into ministry and encourage our church to consider the call for living on mission that God has for our lives. Are we as quick to say, “Here I am Lord. Send me!” as Isaiah was when God moved? 

In Galatians 5, Paul emphasizes our need for freedom in Christ. As Christians, there are many questions, frustrations, and fears that swarm us as we look at our nation today. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the plight of it all. But in times like these, we need to focus on Jesus instead of placing our hope in a political figure or party. After all, our nation’s deepest need isn’t political reform—it’s freedom from sin, a freedom only Christ can provide.

What is a Christian’s place in politics? Christians have a governmental right to vote and to participate in bringing political change in America. But some Christians cross the line from working to bring change to putting their hope in America, a political party, or a politician. In this sermon, Pastor Chase will preach from 1 Samuel 8 where the nation of Israel wanted a king to rule over them. Their request was for a king who would judge them, go before them, and fight their battles. Israel failed to realize that God is their perfect King. Jesus is our eternal King, to whom we find our complete hope. Jesus is our ultimate authority, our fearless Leader, and our everlasting Provider. No government or political leader will ever dethorne Jesus as the King of Kings. We must remember that Jesus is our King and he is the one who will save America. And Christians should be unified.

Have you ever made a foolish decision? At some point, everyone has made a choice that they regret. Small decisions can make a huge impact on not only our own lives but the lives around us. When our focus is not on Jesus, we are often quick to make those bad decisions. This week, Pastor Chase gives us guidance from Ephesians 5 on how to live as wise followers of Jesus and how to apply those points to our lives. 

What is the secret to a healthy marriage, and how can we invite Christ into our relationships? This week, Pastor Ronnie and his wife, Telesa, will share their journey and outline essential principles for building a godly marriage. Drawing from their own experiences, they will discuss how they have navigated challenges and strengthened their relationship by keeping Christ at the center.

What are we discussing in our everyday conversations? In today’s world, it often feels challenging to have a civil conversation without someone taking offense or it turning into an argument. But the reality is, our words carry weight. Whether in practical or emotional discussions, what we say matters. So how often are we speaking about Jesus in our daily interactions? Do we naturally bring Him into our conversations? As Christians, we are called to live differently—set apart from the patterns of this world. Every day, we use countless words, so let us choose to glorify God with the way we speak.
